KD on any Ben Simmons return: “Im not expecting him to play. Im not putting any pressure on Ben to come out there & hoop. I’m not expecting him to do anything but just get his body right & get healthy as fast as he can. Im preparing as if we’re playing w/ the team we have” #Nets1:54 PM

Ime Udoka said the Celtis haven’t spent any of the game-planning on Ben Simmons yet.
Udoka also said he hasn’t talked to anyone on the Brooklyn side. Udoka was a Nets assistant last season, and he’s also close with Nets guard Patty Mills from their time in San Antonio together. – 1:30 PM

Ben Simmons may play for #Nets against #Celtics after ‘heavier progress’ nypost.com/2022/04/13/ben… via @nypostsports8:40 PM

With Ben Simmons on the court last year, the 76ers had a 107.4 defensive rating, which would’ve ranked 2nd in the NBA.
If the Nets get him for the 1st round, the results might look awfully familiar to last year.
